Have you ever thought to yourself. I am some kind of crazy. I’m walking around the house talking to the cat like he’s a human. I’m all on shushing the robin in his nest because he won’t stop TWEETING, cursing the dishwasher that doesn’t clean and then suddenly wondering; have I lost it? Is this how it ends? I simply can’t be the only one.
Do you…
*Taste the milk and think it’s a wee bit off, you know, it’s not quite past it’s expiration date but just doesn’t smell quite right? So you go and ask your significant other to give it a try. “Honey try this, does this taste right to you“. A man who loves you would drink that sour milk, wouldn’t he?
*I can’t be the only one to use the old “Oh the Kids are so tired, I think we better be going…” to escape the drab function that has gone on 2 hours toooo long. This is normal behaviour. Polite even. Justify!
*Someone besides me must have hoped for torrential rain so your Hubby’s golf game will be cancelled, or at least cut very short. Why should he get 5 hours to play golf while I’m home with the kids? Hmm, maybe it’s time to take up golf?
*I’m sure I’m not the only Mom, short on time and out of ideas, who has thrown a frozen pizza in the oven or a hot dog into some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and called it a balanced meal. It happens.
*I may be the only fool who buys light popcorn and then smoother’s it in extra butter. MMM Butter. Hey, the lady in front of me at the McDonald’s Drive-thru today got the biggie fries and a Diet Coke. Same difference. Of course this doesn’t make me feel better about the fact that I spent 45 minutes on the dreadmill and then celebrated with a Drumstick. Sigh.
*I am SURE I am not the only wasteful human to simply discard a funkified container of Tupperware full of mystery meat instead of doing the responsible thing and oh I don’t know, washing it!
*Ever turned a sock over to hide a hole? Nope, me either.
This is what passes for normal here in the Suburbs. At least I hope it does.
I’m pretty sure everybody does it. Have you?
I love this post especially with your sense of humor. You and I would get along great because we both have a great sense of humor. I love your take on life and life situations!
I’ve definitely done a few of these things before and more! No worries, sometimes all you can do is get thru the day…and others are so much better!
Oh, I’ve definitely thrown out a reusable container full of food before. It’s a health hazard! (That’s what I tell myself) Luckily, it doesn’t happen often, because my husband is actually pretty good at going through the fridge and eating the oddball food and tossing out old food. Good thing, because I’m not!
Yes!!! Love this <3
Yep on the Tupperware, still feel a twinge of guilt.
You are definitely not alone. I often talk to my pets like they’re human, and I sometimes eat a donut after working out.
Uhm – yea, that tupperware thing… *oops*
Hahaha. You are so on point on all these. For me it’s like, hey I worked my @$$ off at the gym, why not indulge in that junk food or greasy chicken? 😉
Hahah, this is so true. Especially the Tupperware.
I did must of them. I am always talking to myself.
I really need to proof read.
Nope, you’re not the only. I’ve done all of these and raise the ante – I talk to inanimate objects all the live long day.
I think I have done most of these, so you are definitely not alone! I carry on conversations with my pets, the birds in the yard and even the toad living under the deck…lol
LOL OMG YES!…especially talking to my cats like humans. I swear Peanut nodded his head yes this morning.
Love this post and yes I have done most of all of these, I think we all do!!
